[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 9-252829 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the hair color cap described in Patent Document 1, the portion located around the hairline is gathered, so for example, the liquid hair dye may leak out of the cap. In particular, gaps are likely to form around the ears, and the liquid hair dye may leak out from these gaps and stain the neck and nape.

[0005] The present invention has been developed in consideration of such problems, and aims to provide a hair coloring hat that can reduce staining of ears and clothes with hair dye when dyeing hair with hair dye. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration.

[0007] (1) a hat portion made of a film material to be placed on the user's head; an elastic member formed in a ring shape attached to an opening edge of the hat portion and disposed near the hairline of the user when the hat portion is placed on the head; and a water-absorbent member formed in a stretchable ring shape that is attached to the inside of the elastic member and abuts against the vicinity of the user's hairline. A coloring hat characterized in that a space for passing the user's ear is formed by the elastic member and the water-absorbent member at a portion of the water-absorbent member through which the user's ear passes, and the water-absorbent member is positioned above the base of the user's ear.

[0008] According to the configuration of (1), by putting the coloring hat on the head of the user, the water-absorbing member is positioned at the hairline. Therefore, the hair dye that becomes liquid and flows down the head is absorbed by the water-absorbing member, and the amount of hair dye that flows down through the sponge can be reduced. In particular, since the water-absorbing member is positioned above the base of the ear, the hair dye can be reduced from flowing down from the ear area. In this way, a coloring hat can be provided that can reduce the staining of ears and clothes with hair dye when dyeing hair with the hair dye.

[0009] (2) In the item (1), the water-absorbent member has a curved portion that curves inward at a portion of the water-absorbent member through which the user's ear passes, A coloring hat, wherein the space is formed by the elastic member and the curved portion.

[0010] According to the configuration of (2), since the water-absorbent member has a curved portion formed in advance, a space for passing the ears is stably formed before the coloring hat is put on. This makes it easy to position the water-absorbent member over the ears. Effect of the Invention

[0011] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a coloring hat that can reduce staining of ears and clothes with hair dye when dyeing hair with hair dye. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 5] FIG. 2 is a side view showing another example of the coloring hat 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a coloring hat 1 in one embodiment of the present invention, where FIG. 1(a) is a front view, FIG. 1(b) is a side view, and FIG. 1(c) is a view of the lower part of FIG. 1(b) viewed from the X direction.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 1(a), the coloring hat 1 is made of a film material and comprises a hat portion 10 that is placed on a person's head, and an elastic portion 20 that is attached to the opening edge of the hat portion 10 and is positioned near the hairline of the person's head when the hat portion 10 is placed on the person's head.

[0015] The hat portion 10 is configured in a generally crown-like shape using a film material, and has a main body portion 11 that covers a person's head, a tubular portion 12 that extends upward from the top of the main body portion 11, a string 13, and a hook-and-loop fastener 14.

[0016] The main body 11 has an opening 11a for inserting a person's head therein, and this opening 11a is inclined with respect to the central axis of the tubular part 12 as shown in FIG. 1(b). The main body 11 is formed to a size such that the entire hair of the person is accommodated inside the main body 11 when the main body 11 is placed on the person's head through the opening 11a. The tubular part 12 is a part for containing a liquid hair dye when dyeing hair, and extends upward from near the top of the person's head when the main body 11 is placed on the person's head. The string 13 is used to tie the base of the tubular part 12 together to seal the tubular part 12. Before using the coloring hat 1, the string 13 is removed from the tubular part 12.

[0017] The stretchable portion 20 is composed of a ring-shaped rubber portion 21 and a ring-shaped sponge portion 22 attached to the inner surface of the rubber portion 21.

[0018] The rubber portion 21 is made of, for example, natural rubber. The sponge portion 22 is made of a foam material that is radially expandable and contractible and has water-absorbing properties. The sponge portion 22 is porous, and absorbed liquid is retained within the sponge portion 22 by penetrating into the porous portions.

[0019] The rubber part 21 is attached to the inner edge of the opening 11a in the main body part 11 with a stretchable double-sided adhesive tape. A rubber sheet having adhesive properties on both sides can be used as the stretchable double-sided adhesive tape. The sponge part 22 is attached to the inner surface of the rubber part 21 with a stretchable double-sided adhesive tape. Therefore, by expanding the opening 11a in the radial direction, the rubber part 21 and the sponge part 22 can be expanded in the radial direction.

[0020] The sponge part 22 has two curved parts 22a, 22a that are curved inward along the radial direction. Therefore, a half-moon shaped space 20a is formed by the curved parts 22a and the rubber part 21. The curved parts 22a, 22a are formed at positions corresponding to both ears of the user when the user wears the coloring hat 1. The width of the curved parts 22a (W in FIG. 1(c)) is set to approximately the width of the user's ears. Therefore, it is possible to insert the space 20a into the ears from above and hang the curved parts 22a, 22a behind the ears (at the base of the ears).

[0021] The hook and loop fastener 14 is composed of a hook portion 14a having fine hooks on its surface and a loop portion 14b having fine loops on its surface. The hook portion 14a and the loop portion 14b are arranged at a predetermined distance from each other in the center of the front side on the outer edge of the opening 11a of the main body 11.

[0022] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the hook fastener 14 is attached. By bonding the hook portion 14a and the loop portion 14b together, the outer edge of the opening 11a of the main body portion 11 and the stretchable portion 20 attached to the outer edge are folded into an S shape in the area of ​​the hook fastener 14. This makes it possible to reduce the diameter of the opening 11a. In addition, by adjusting the area where the hook portion 14a and the loop portion 14b are bonded, the diameter of the opening 11a can be adjusted. Note that the hook fastener 14 may also be provided in the center of the back side of the outer edge of the opening 11a of the main body portion 11. This makes it possible to adjust the positions of the curved portions 22a, 22a.

[0023] Fig. 3 shows the appearance of the coloring hat 1 when worn by a user, Fig. 3(a) is a side view, Fig. 3(b) is a front view, and Fig. 4 is a side view showing the ears of a user wearing the coloring hat 1.

[0024] Next, a procedure for coloring hair using the hair coloring hat 1 will be described. Before use, the coloring hat 1 is in a state in which the tubular part 12 and the string 13 are separated. First, the hat part 10 is attached to the user's head. Specifically, the inner surface of the sponge part 22 is abutted against the hairline of the user, and the space 20a formed by the curved parts 22a, 22a is inserted into the user's ear from above, and the curved parts 22a, 22a are positioned above the base of the ear as shown in Figures 3 and 4, so that the coloring hat 1 is attached to the user's head. At this time, the aperture of the opening 11a is adjusted by the hook-and-loop fastener 14 according to the size of the head. In addition, it is desirable that the tubular part 12 is positioned near the top of the user's head.

[0025] Next, the hair dye is poured in through the opening of the tubular part 12. Then, the tubular part 12 is tied with the string 13 to prevent the hair dye from leaking out of the tubular part 12, and then the hair is allowed to absorb the hair dye. Alternatively, the hair is allowed to absorb the hair dye, and then the tubular part 12 is tied with the string 13 to prevent the hair dye from leaking out of the tubular part 12. After leaving this state for a predetermined time (e.g., 20 minutes) specified in the instruction manual for the hair dye, the coloring hat 1 is removed from the user's head, and excess hair dye is washed off from the head, completing the coloring.

[0026] According to this embodiment configured as described above, by putting the coloring hat 1 on the user's head, the absorbent sponge portion 22 is positioned at the hairline. Therefore, the hair dye that becomes liquid and flows down from the head is absorbed by the sponge portion 22, and the amount of hair dye that flows down through the sponge portion 22 can be reduced. In particular, since the sponge is positioned above the base of the ears, the hair dye can be reduced from flowing down from the ears.

[0027] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the rear part may be made larger than the main body part 11 in FIG. 3(a) so that it can be applied to users with long hair. The size of the tubular part 12 can also be set appropriately. For example, it may be made small enough to inject hair dye, or large enough to insert both hands. In addition, according to this embodiment, the string 13 is used to seal the tubular part 12, but other methods can be applied as long as the tubular part 12 can be sealed. For example, the tubular part 12 may be sealed by attaching a double-sided adhesive tape to the inner surface of the tubular part 12, attaching the inner surface of the tubular part 12 to the double-sided adhesive tape, or by attaching the double-sided adhesive tape to each other.

[0028] In addition, according to this embodiment, the width W of the curved portions 22a, 22a is set to approximately the width of the ear, but the width W of the curved portions 22a, 22a may be set shorter than the width of the ear, and the size of the space 20a may be set to a size that allows insertion from above with the user's ears folded forward. This keeps the user's ears folded forward when the coloring hat 1 is worn on the user's head, preventing the hair dye from entering the ear holes.

[0029] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the sponge portion 22 is made of a foam material having water absorption, but any material having elasticity and water absorption can be used instead of the sponge portion 22. For example, instead of the sponge portion 22, a cloth material having elasticity can be used.

[0030] Also, according to this embodiment, the sponge part 22 is formed by forming curved parts 22a, 22a at two places of a circular foam member, but is not limited thereto. A ring-shaped sponge part 22 having a diameter larger than that of the rubber part 21 is attached to the inside of the rubber part 21 using a double-sided adhesive tape having flexibility. In this case, the double-sided adhesive tape may not be attached only to the areas of both ears, so that the areas of the sponge part 22 corresponding to both ears may be curved by the flexibility of the sponge part 22.
